Pope Leo XIV has been discharged from Rome's Gemelli Hospital, just four days after an operation to remove a cancerous growth from his lung. The 71-year-old walked unaided to his waiting car, stopping to speak to well-wishers. The Vatican said the Pope will give the traditional Angelus prayer and blessing to a crowd in St Peter's Square on Sunday, as he did last week when he surprised the world by announcing the surgery. On Friday, photographs were released of the Pope celebrating Mass and distributing communion in hospital for staff. A statement from his doctors said blood tests and a chest X-ray showed "steady improvement" following his operation.

The BBC can confirm German detectives are now including the incident in their investigation into the detained Russian and his associates. Separately, the BBC has learned that British police are examining whether its own inquiry may lead to an unlawful killing case

Businesses & affiliated entities should REALLY reconsider using ANY Meta product. By using WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook… they now automatically opt-in to their websites getting scraped, collected & used to train (likely) MetaAI. It includes the creation of fake accounts (so called test credentials¹) to gain further access, to restricted data. “You authorize us (or any entity acting on our behalf) to use automated software (such as web scrapers, bots, robots, spiders, crawlers, and user agents) and create test credentials to access, index, cache, analyze, collect, retrieve, or crawl the domains, web pages, or URLs (and any content available through them)…” …that are associated with your

Instruction-level emulation of four ESP32 SoCs, across both of Espressif's CPU architectures . Each boots the real mask ROM , the real 2nd-stage bootloader and an unmodified application image — no patched firmware, no stubs in the way — with enough of the SoC modelled to run real projects end to end. No cloud, no accounts. MIT. The classic ESP32 also boots its ECO3 ROM on dual LX6 cores, with GPIO, UART and timers; --board ttgo-tdisplay adds the LilyGO TTGO T-Display's ST7789 and buttons. These full-listing and hardware counts describe earlier manual runs. CI runs the checked-in sampled decoder corpora and emulator golden outputs; it excludes the external full-listing tests.
